Advantage Solutions Inc.
A behind-the-scenes sales and marketing agency for consumer goods, Advantage Solutions helps brands like the ones on your grocery shelves get noticed and sold in stores and online. Founded in 1987 in Irvine, California by Sonny King as Advantage Sales & Marketing, it grew by buying regional brokers and, in 2017, acquired Daymon Worldwide, the world's largest private-brand agency. Its subsidiary Club Demonstration Services runs the in-store product tastings shoppers see at Costco, earning the company the nickname "the hidden force" of retail.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last year: +474.8K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
